5 CONCUSSION INFORMATION FOR STUDENT-ATHLETES & PARENTS/LEGAL CUSTODIANS What is a concussion? A concussion is an injury to the brain caused by a direct or indirect blow to the head. It results in your brain not working as it should. It may or may not cause you to black out or pass out. It can happen to you from a fall, a hit to the head, or a hit to the body that causes your head and your brain to move quickly back and forth. How do I know if I have a concussion? There are many signs and symptoms that you may have following a concussion. A concussion can affect your thinking, the way your body feels, your mood, or your sleep. Here is what to look for: Thinking/Remembering Physical Emotional/Mood Sleep Difficulty thinking clearly Headache Irritability-things bother you Sleeping more than usual more easily Taking longer to figure things out Fuzzy or blurry vision Sleeping less than usual Sadness Difficulty concentrating Feeling sick to your stomach/queasy Trouble falling asleep Being more moody Difficulty remembering new information Vomiting/throwing up Feeling tired Feeling nervous or worried Dizziness Crying more Balance problems Sensitivity to noise or light Table is adapted from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( What should I do if I think I have a concussion? If you are having any of the signs or symptoms listed above, you should tell your parents, coach, athletic trainer or school nurse so they can get you the help you need. If a parent notices these symptoms, they should inform the school nurse or athletic trainer. When should I be particularly concerned? If you have a headache that gets worse over time, you are unable to control your body, you throw up repeatedly or feel more and more sick to your stomach, or your words are coming out funny/slurred, you should let an adult like your parent or coach or teacher know right away, so they can get you the help you need before things get any worse. What are some of the problems that may affect me after a concussion? You may have trouble in some of your classes at school or even with activities at home. If you continue to play or return to play too early with a concussion, you may have long term trouble remembering things or paying attention, headaches may last a long time, or personality changes can occur Once you have a concussion, you are more likely to have another concussion. How do I know when it s ok to return to physical activity and my sport after a concussion? After telling your coach, your parents, and any medical personnel around that you think you have a concussion, you will probably be seen by a doctor trained in helping people with concussions. Your school and your parents can help you decide who is best to treat you and help to make the decision on when you should return to activity/play or practice. Your school will have a policy in place for how to treat concussions. You should not return to play or practice on the same day as your suspected concussion. You should not have any symptoms at rest or during/after activity when you return to play, as this is a sign your brain has not recovered from the injury. This information is provided to you by the UNC Matthew Gfeller Sport-Related TBI Research Center, North Carolina Medical Society, North Carolina Athletic Trainers Association, Brain Injury Association of North Carolina, North Carolina Neuropsychological Society, and North Carolina High School Athletic Association.

6 Student-Athlete & Parent/Legal Custodian Concussion Statement *If there is anything on this sheet that you do not understand, please ask an adult to explain or read it to you. Student-Athlete Name: This form must be completed for each student-athlete, even if there are multiple student-athletes in each household. Parent/Legal Custodian Name(s): We have read the Student-Athlete & Parent/Legal Custodian Concussion Information Sheet. If true, please check box. Student-Athlete Initials After reading the information sheet, I am aware of the following information: A concussion is a brain injury, which should be reported to my parents, my coach(es), or a medical professional if one is available. A concussion can affect the ability to perform everyday activities such as the ability to think, balance, and classroom performance. A concussion cannot be seen. Some symptoms might be present right away. Other symptoms can show up hours or days after an injury. I will tell my parents, my coach, and/or a medical professional about my injuries and illnesses. If I think a teammate has a concussion, I should tell my coach(es), parents, or medical professional about the concussion. I will not return to play in a game or practice if a hit to my head or body causes any concussion-related symptoms. I will/my child will need written permission from a medical professional trained in concussion management to return to play or practice after a concussion. Based on the latest data, most concussions take days or weeks to get better. A concussion may not go away right away. I realize that resolution from this injury is a process and may require more than one medical evaluation. I realize that ER/Urgent Care physicians will not provide clearance if seen right away after the injury. After a concussion, the brain needs time to heal. I understand that I am/my child is much more likely to have another concussion or more serious brain injury if return to play or practice occurs before concussion symptoms go away. Sometimes, repeat concussions can cause serious and long-lasting problems. I have read the concussion symptoms on the Concussion Information Sheet.
